A small buzz and his phone lights up the whole room. Oswald rubs his eyes and leans on his elbows as he reaches over to check his phone.

'havin a pool party on my boat come if you want'
-Bruce W.

'like hell if I'm going' Oswald thought to himself. 'If I'm am, I'm not going alone.'

He brings his phone up to read the text a little more clearly.

'havin a pool party on my boat come if you want, have to bring someone with you'
-Bruce W.

'Seriously? Uhg, I barely know any one. The only close friend I have is Jonathon Crane'

.  .  . 

Pengie: hey you get the text from Bruce?

Scary_boi: unfortunately, yes. You going?

Pengie: idk, only if your going, I'm not one to go to party's.

Scary_boi: I guess we should go, we got nothing better to do anyway, right?

Pengie: true

.  .  . 

'What am I even supposed to bring?' Oswald thought. He decided to slip on a dark purple, long sleeve swim shirt and some black shorts. He also brought along a towel, (with umbrellas on them of course) his phone and car keys.

As Oswald drives to Cranes house, he can't help but worry about what might happen. He is already crippled. And gets bullied enough. Though he should be used to it by now. And to add to that, he still doesn't have many friends, due to his lack of social capability.

Pengie: I'm outside, get out here before I leave you

Scary_boi: k

"Oh, forgot to mention we need to pick up ivy. She doesn't have a ride" Oswald says, getting on the highway.

"Your friends with her?" Crane ask, looking out the window.

"I guess, she is nice to us, so maybe she will be a good enough friend" Oswald adds.

They make their way to a green, large house. vegetation over growing everything, and plant beds in every corner, But somehow in a neat way. He doesn't have her number yet, so he contacts her the only way he has, without going to talk to her.

He honks his car horn only to see a small head pop out the 2nd story window.

"Oh hey guys!" She yells, a smile spread across her face. "Your kinda early!"

"Just get down here! We can get food or something on the way!" Oswald Yells back, starting his car again.

Once ivy is in the car she immediately starts talking non-stop.

"One time I was planting some Fox gloves, and a squirrel came up to me and stole my seeds. I tried to chase him but he was so fast, I told him the plants aren't going to like tha-"

"Ivy! Enough, it's a fantastic story, but you talk way to much" Oswald says as her words became a blur in his head.

"Oh ya" she chuckles, "Ya I forgot to tell you I do that. My dad says I need to work on that, but it's hard because I have so many things to tell you guys"

Oswald looks over to see Crane rolling his eyes at him. He elbowed him in the side, making Crane hit him back.
